We shall he voicing, the ments of Hongkong as a whole when we say that the utmost sym- pathy will go out to the people of Macao in the terrible disaster with which the little Portuguese Colony has been visited. Happily, such happeninga are of rare occur- refce, but when they do come they are devastating in their effects and bring much sorrow in their train. First thoughts naturally go out to those who have suffered bereave ment and those who have received bodily injuries; but even those who escaped harm of any kind must be feeling the effects of the shock to which they were exposed. Then there is the extensive damage to property, representing a heavy los to those concerned. To all affected It must have been A terrifying experience, rendered even more so by the fear that the [initial blast might easily have been followed by further explo- sions. Hongkong has very close and friendly associations with Macao, both by ties of family con- nexions and by business interesta. In the circumstances, therefore, we cannot but feel deeply for all who have suffered in a disaster which will long be remembered and which will go down in the history of the little Colony as one of the worst calamities it has ever experienced.
